Soft clutch pedal on my 1990 DSM

[Catnip]

The clutch pedal on my 90 GSX is pretty soft and has about 2" of nothing (when you first begin to push in). It's not losing fluid and I bled the master cylinder and slave cylinder, and it's still soft. The car has a Spec Stage 3 clutch in it, but the pedal feels like it's a stock clutch (or worse) AND has the useless travel.

Any ideas on what's causing this, how to fix it, etc?

I think u'd regret getting a vette if you have to pay everything yourself...

Are you sure on the insurance thing? That was the expense I was talking about. If you are sure how much you paying now? If its cheap please let me know:D

[Revmaynard]

Wow, someone is ripping you off if your rate on a GSX is the same as a Vette!

[Catnip]

liability doesn't change with Alfa.
94 civic VX = 78 luv truck = tbird turbocoupe = 95 mustang gt convertible = GST = GSX = corvette.

huh? anyways liability ftl

[Revmaynard]

So what does it cost you? I know rates aren't usually cheap for 18 year olds with their own policies.

[Catnip]

I pay $198 per 3 months, but my mom pays $50 if I get the "good student" discount. So I actually pay like $150.

im not sayin he is did anything wrong but he might have changed to a light or easier to push in pressure plate. on the other hand u may have a internal leak on the master or slave.

[Catnip]

could there be a leak if the resevoir doesn't ever get low?

[Barefoot]

could there be a leak if the resevoir doesn't ever get low?yes sir

[Catnip]

Aight man, well I'll check the master/slave cylinder for internal leaking...

When you push the clutch in to shift. Is it near the floor? There could be a chance the two inches of nothing is due to it needing to be adjusted.

As for the soft pedal? Is there any shifting problems other then the pedal being soft?
